When 50 years ago, dictator Francisco Franco died, Spain began its long journey towards democracy. Viewers experience the past half-century through the eyes of Óscar Martín and Paloma Rodríguez, who were born on the very day that Franco died and grew up together with the young democracy. Their biographies intersect with the accounts of contemporary witnesses who were present at key moments of the Spanish ‘transición’. They guide us through key milestones that have happened since 1975, such as the first elections, a coup attempt and the struggle against corruption and terrorism. A personal and refreshingly clear account of 50 years of turbulent Spanish history.
